Safety Instructions
The WARNING sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a
procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or
adhered to, could result in personnel injury. Do not proceed beyond a
WARNING sign until the indicated conditions are fully understood and
met.
The CAUTION sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating
procedure, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to,
could result in damage to or destruction of part or the entire product. Do
not proceed beyond a CAUTION sign until the indicated conditions are
fully understood and met.
The NOTE sign information that may be beneficial during the use and
maintenance of the instrument.
Users should avoid looking directly into optic output of any
working laser source or live fiber. And the use of microscope or
magnifier should also be avoided, for the use of such devices can
focus a highly intense beam onto the retina, which may result in
permanent eye damage
Battery: SLS-50 battery type is lithium battery. Do not take battery
out without technical staff’s assistance. Do not expose battery to fire
or intense heat. Do not open or mutilate battery. Avoid touching the
electrolyte in the battery, which is corrosive and may cause injuries to
eyes, skin or damage to clothes.
External Power Supply: (Optional) Power Adaptor, 5V DC/750mA
Laser Radiation: To avoid serious eye injury, never look directly into
the optical output of fiber optic network equipment, test equipment,
patch cords or tested jumpers.
SLS-50 User’s Manual
Shineway Technologies, Inc. - 2 -
Always avoid looking directly into the optical output port, when the
instrument is working
Always put protective dust cap on the detector port when the
instrument is not in use.
Always avoid looking directly at unconnected end of optic fiber in
testing; point the unconnected end at a non-reflective object.

battery is low to ensure accurate measurement.
Please take out the battery if SLS-50 is not in use for a long time.
2.4 Connector Cleaning
Please follow the instructions below when cleaning:
Turn off the instrument before cleaning.
Non-compliant operation may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Turn off laser source before cleaning optical interface.
Always avoid looking directly into the optical output port when the instrument is
working, laser is invisible and can cause serious eye damage.
Disconnect instrument from power supply before cleaning to prevent electric
shock.
Do not install unauthorized parts or make unauthorized adjustments on instrument.
Please consult qualified professional about maintenance and repair services.
Always clean optical connector before using optical power meter to ensure accurate
measurement. Clean the optical connector gently with cleaning swab.
